Better Days Lyrics

85 miles out of Nashville, thinkin bout the way things change

 Try an keep it by the reigns

 I'm a lone drifter, big money flipper

 Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter

 I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana

 I never had no lovin like I had in Alabama

 A man of my word and out to hurt nobody

 I'm just a mc to keep the boogie in the party

 Been sittin lodi dodi since 84 and

 I'll be sittin lodi dodi till I'm eighty four

 I couldn't ask for more, life's been sweet

 So you can save the planet I'll save your seat

 

 I been gone for weeks, I ain't slept in days

 I can't find myself in this self made maze

 It's been so long since I've been fine

 I'm just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine

 And I know I'll see better days

 Well I know you'll see things my way

 

 I never thought about change until

 Spend a little time where time stood still

 Been lookin for a mill, but I keep comin up shy

 I been a broke fool, I ain't tryin to be that guy

 Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder

 I'm tryin to get some money I ain't gettin any yonger

 At times I wonder at, at times I won't

 Sometimes I give a fuck, but most times I don't

 Don't, don't even care

 Through stained glass windows these eyse stare

 I try to stay straight but it's kickin my ass

 Everytime I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past

 I sit half mass like a soldier's flag

 That's why my left leg limp's and my Dickies sag

 It's been so long since I've been fine

 I'm just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine

 And I know I'll see better days

 Well I know you'll see things my way

 And I know I'll see better days

 Well I know you'll see things my way

 

 Well I been all around this crooked land

 I came across all walks, I shook Jim Beam's hand

 I got no plans and no place to go

 It keeps gettin harder to just say no

 I see the people laugh and I see the people cry

 That's how some live and that's how some die

 Well me, myself I'm gonna sit righ here

 And I'm a watch this this world break down in tears

 All my fears and dark gray skies

 Couldn't crack my smile or break my stride

 Got too much pride, I got too much shout

 I might be down, but I still ain't out

 Got to much time and that's all I have

 When I leave this world I'll still be sad

 It's been so long since I've been fine

 I'm just tryin to see the bottom of the bottle of wine

 And I know I'll see better days

 Well I know you'll see things my way

 And I know I'll see better days

 Well I know you'll see things my way
